One who subverts convention or orthodoxy or varies from social conformity in order to reveal spiritual or moral truth: a gek. Throughout history different societies have used different approaches and followed different guidelines for interpreting Divine providence. Some approaches have brought people closer to God and truth while many have led people into deeper darkness, plunging succeeding generations into ignorance and apostasy.

Will Power

"They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can't get away from us now!"-Lieutenant General. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller, USMC

When the Marines were cut off behind enemy linesand the Army had written the 1st Marine Division off as being lost because they were surrounded by 22 enemy divisions. The Marines made it out inflicting thehighest casualty ratio on anenemy in history and destroying 7 entire enemy divisions in the process. An enemy division is 16500+ men while a Marine division is 12500 men

Fourteen personal decorations in combat, five Navy Crosses, a Purple Heart, and a long list of campaign medals, unit citation ribbons and other awards: Lieutenant General "Chesty" Puller's heroics earned him more military decorations than any Marine who served before or since.

If you have the will, and the faith; anything is possible for the intrepid.
